This delightful little story highlights human connection in ways we seem to have largely misplaced. Yes, there are those wonderful neighborhood “libraries” constructed or from repurposed newspaper vending machines and a few other notable efforts. It’s a strong counterpoint and maybe antidote to the guy with the AR15 in Texas…

So, wild sex. At a certain age, not so much. Then again, the idea of wild sex at any age seems a good one. But the definition of wild sex changes as the years pass. Maybe. I think the lesson from this article is that authenticity leads to better pairing…

Scientists have found that the dwarf reed snake cartwheels away from danger. It just rolls up and rolls on. THAT is a fabulous evolutionary development. Don’t know about you, but cartwheels are not in my wheelhouse these days. What would happen if we could sense danger then, not bolt, but…

For about 3.5 years, I’ve been doing low carbs, jokingly saying I lost 30 lbs without giving up bourbon, beer, or weed (though I did switch to light beer). THIS month I switched to the Mediterranean diet, and it’s going pretty well, though admittedly, for the month I’ve given up…
